[issue4709] Mingw-w64 and python on windows x64

I have now tried reproducing the problem, and still failed to. I downloaded, from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/, the distribution mingw-w32-bin_i686-mingw_20100123_sezero.zip.

With this, I get

c:\cygwin\mingw64\bin\gcc.exe -mno-cygwin -shared -s build\temp.win-amd64-2.6\Release\w64test.o build\temp.win-amd64-2.6\Release\w64test.def -LC:\Python26\libs -LC:\Python26\PCbuild\amd64 -lpython26 -lmsvcr90 -o build\lib.win-amd64-2.6\w64test.pyd
c:/cygwin/mingw64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/4.4.3/../../../../x86_64-w64
-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lmsvcr90
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status 

How am I supposed to link with this toolchain? If linking with -lmscvr90 is incorrect, what should I use instead? If it is correct, where do I get the proper import library from?
